- Moving is a time during which it would seem a gal is likely to simultaneously want to thank her husband for all the heavy lifting and also strangle him for constantly just being in the way and putting things in the most ridiculous places. – For Christmas this year, Jim and I made boxes [...]

Man oh man, has life been busy. Those of you friended up on the LiveJournal will see that this is the 4th wordy post today. I have two days off mid-week from work, and it feels like I finally have time to sit and enjoy some reading, some writing, and some reflection on the past [...]

Journal prompt: What do you need to feel successful? I know the question is about what I need in order to feel successful, but when I began to think about my answer to that question, I was more interested in whether I actually feel successful right now, and if I do, what is it that [...]

In the past week, I have been completely amazed at the number of people at work who don’t know what I do professionally. A therapist came up to the inpatient psychiatric unit I work on to see a patient recently, and it prompted mass confusion. First, everyone referred to this person as “Dr. Such-and-Such” when [...]

Qik | Happy Fat Tuesday! – Today has been a bit of a hellish day, but I had a brief spot of fun in the middle when I had lunch with a friend of mine (Jenn) and we both vented about our crappy days, which we both really needed to do. Hope you’ve had a [...]

Bah. Today was wretched-ish and I ended up at work for 13 hours instead of eight. My day also got monumentally poopier AFTER I was done with this lunch and headed back to the chaos. Have a great weekend! I’m doing lots of family stuff and taking Monday and Tuesday off since my dad is [...]

A lot of people have asked about what happened, so I want to address my stepping down from Viddler as their Community Leader. For those of you who don’t already know, October will be my last month in the community guru role. There are some personal reasons for the decision that I won’t discuss, but [...]

I’m thinking a lot right now about time management and the fact that I have successfully found a way to fit everything into my life, but with the discovery that using my time for certain projects isn’t something that’s necessarily worth doing. Re-evaluation in progress… Learning that while I know I definitely have the time, [...]

Last week, I had the most amazing time ever at New Media Expo, networking, filming video content, meeting some of my co-workers for the first time (shout out to Kyle Slattery!), and having an ABSOLUTE blast. I’m still happily sorting through all the video footage and great pictures that came out of the event, while [...]

I’m pretty impressed that Veronica Belmont got this interview with Steve Jobs about upcoming products being released in 2008. Also, since there’s only 24 minutes left to April Fools Day, I’ll admit that I am not really taking a job at YouTube. There is a new job that I did indeed acquire just yesterday, but [...]

Joe wrote a blog entry on what he wants in an ideal work environment, and it’s had me thinking about my ideal work environment for a while now. It’s rare (if not impossible) to find exactly what you want in any given work environment, because there are always disadvantages, whether you’re working for yourself or [...]
